Java Runtime Environment runtime portion of the Java programming language

N.B. Javascript has nothing to do with Java Runtime Environment

J.R.E. software package(s)

Absolutely no warranty given or implied; use entirely at your own risk

jre-1.6.0.22.pet {0c1faff3902c8f07f6792b0fd665eaeeb1c768fb sha1sum SHA1 checksum}

File date: 2010-10-19

Installation size: 107MB

Default automatic installation location (which is outside any save file): /mnt/home/java

Not for FAT32 partitions (because the package makes use of symbolic links). If you normally use FAT with U.S.B. flash drives, use ntfs3g NTFS instead. It is a better file system. Use GRUBforDOS to boot it up.

For frugal Puppy installations this Java installation is only retained when a personal storage save file has already been created; a save file is created during the procedure of re-booting/shutting down for the very first time following a new frugal Puppy installation.

Appendix

Manual installation: download J.R.E. from www.java.com; select the file without rpm in its name. After it has downloaded right-click on the file and select Permissions and then Yes, so as to make the file executable. Right-click on the white space inside the window that contains the file and select Window > Terminal Here, and enter (XX=version number)

./jre-6uXX-linux-i586.bin

The file is automatically unpacked and its contents are placed inside a newly created directory named jre1.6.0_XX. From this point advanced users will know what to do with it.
